ALL OF CHAPTER 23

Forty years ago the wife and I moved into a new housing edition. Our neighbors across the street had just moved to town after selling their life long farm. Not being able to quit farming cold turkey. They planted a large garden. And you guessed it. They were over run with chipmunks and cotton tails. While talking with them one afternoon. I commented about the large garden. A very aggravated reply came quick. Damn varmints, eat it faster than I can grow it. I casually mentioned shooting them and my neighbor whole heartily agreed. Only one problem, we were inside the city limits. Not even BB guns could be used. Being somewhat cavalier about the city ordinance. I set about stealthily hunting the little varmints with a Daisy co2 BB pistol. I soon found the co2 powered pistol was not the best tool for the job. Was very expensive considering only a few shots could be taken on each hunt before dumping the unused propellant. And so my first chipmunk hunting came to a close. Needless to say, I didn't put much of a dent into the population either.

Until recently never had a chance to pursue the little fur balls again. Moved to the country a few years back and am located on a dead end street. To my surprise chipmunks have just begun migrating to this area. In fact I have had several sightings. Enough so I started looking at pellet rifles. While I was rifle shopping I noticed I was seeing fewer of the little speed demons. It seems somebody else was watching them also and he didn't need a pellet rifle. Mother nature had equipped this guy with some of the best weapons available. My fifteen pound cat has made short work of the expanding population. Last month of warm weather and didn't see a one. Guess I can look at the bright side. Don't need to spend money on an air rifle.

Meat on the table: Modern small-game hunting by Galen Geer. It's an older book (1985), but there still seems to be copies in circulation. I have a copy somewhere.This seems to tie in neatly with another thread on the boards asking about how to survive on Social Security.

Aaaahh....the big bore...the firepower, testosterone laden power, mystique, enjoyment of ownership, pride of marksmanship....LOVE IT!!!!!

but seriously, my big bore gets to hunt only 3 weeks a year during deer season. BUT!!!......my smaller calibers get almost year round exercise! from horseback excursions and hound running/exercise in the summer months, my Single Six 4 5/8" barreled .22 gets the nod. When backpacking up in the Adirondacks, the .357 gets to make the trip due to potential bear or 2 legged predator issues. The .32 goes along with all my small game hunting excursion for the potential shot at a fox or coyote!!!

So where am I going with this you ask!

We need a small bore revolver book. Or a Hunting with small bore revolvers....ahem, ahem...Max Prasac? Are you listening??

'm sure a lot of you have stock AND custom small bores that could grace the pages of a hunting with small bore revolver book.

If there is a book out there already, I am not aware of it. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?

Just putting it out there

"SMALL BORE SIXGUNS, SEMI-AUTOS AND SINGLE-SHOTS" (50 CHAPTERS) IS IN TO THE PUBLISHER. IT IS BEHIND "THE BOOK OF THE .45" (60 CHAPTERS) AND "CLASSIC DOUBLE ACTION SIXGUNS:AN AMERICAN INSTITUTION" (33 CHAPTERS) . I AM NOW FINISHING UP A NEW "BOOK OF THE .44" (56 CHAPTERS). DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT ASKING THE OBVIOUS QUESTION!! PATIENCE! PATIENCE!!PAIENCE!!!

That is AWESOME news Mr. Taffin!!!!

PATIENTLY looking forward to it's release, I like to take my time and enjoy the books so there is no rush on my end. currently engrossed in Max's new book.
